Product details
Overview
MAX17624EVKIT# from Maxim Integrated is an evaluation kit designed to validate the MAX17624 3.3V, 1A, 4MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter under real operating conditions. It features a fully assembled PCB with optimized layout, selectable PWM/PEM mode via jumpers, PGOOD monitoring, and internal 1ms soft-start - all configured for input range 3.6V–5.5V and fixed 3.3V output.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17624EVKIT# datasheet, MAX17624EVKIT# pinout, MAX17624EVKIT# application, or MAX17624EVKIT# equivalent, this kit enables rapid validation of efficiency (94.5% at 5VIN/3.3VOUT/500mA), thermal performance, transient response, and mode-switching behavior in space-constrained industrial and embedded power designs.
Technical Context
The MAX17624EVKIT# hosts the MAX17624ATA+ IC in TDFN-8-EP package and implements its full reference design: input filtering (2.2µF ceramic + optional 47µF tantalum), output capacitance (10µF X7R), and feedback network (R201/R202) preset for 3.3V. Jumpers JU201 and JU202 provide hardware-selectable EN and MODE control.
It supports two distinct operational modes: PWM (shunt installed on JU202 pins 1–2) for consistent 4MHz switching across load range, and PFM (shunt removed) for improved light-load efficiency. The PGOOD signal is pulled up to VIN and asserted after soft-start and output regulation are achieved.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Evaluated Device | MAX17624 synchronous buck converter (TDFN-8-EP) |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 5.5V - matches MAX17624's specified operating range for stable 3.3V output |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V - set by R201 (118kΩ) and R202 (37.4kΩ) feedback divider per datasheet equation |
| Max Output Current | 1A - validated with low-ESR ceramic output capacitor (C204 = 10µF/6.3V X7R) |
| Switching Frequency | 4MHz - inherent to MAX17624; enables compact magnetics (L201 = 1µH/3.8A) |
| Efficiency | 94.5% at VIN=5V, VOUT=3.3V, IOUT=500mA - measured per EV kit test conditions |
| Soft-Start Time | 1ms internal - ensures controlled output ramp without inrush current stress |

FAQ
What does the MAX17624EVKIT# evaluate?
The MAX17624EVKIT# evaluates the MAX17624 synchronous step-down converter in a fully assembled, tested configuration. It demonstrates 3.3V/1A output from 3.6V–5.5V input at 4MHz switching frequency, with hardware-selectable PWM/PEM mode, PGOOD signaling, and internal 1ms soft-start - all per the MAX17624ATA+ datasheet specifications.
Can the MAX17624EVKIT# be used to evaluate the MAX17623?
No - the MAX17624EVKIT# is dedicated to the MAX17624 and configured for 3.3V output with its specific feedback divider (R201/R202) and inductor (L201 = 1µH). The MAX17623EVKIT# uses different components (e.g., L101 = 1.5µH, R101/R102 for 1.5V) and input range (2.9V–5.5V); they are separate, non-interchangeable kits.
How do I configure the MAX17624EVKIT# for PWM mode?
To configure the MAX17624EVKIT# for PWM mode, install a shunt on jumper JU202 pins 1–2 (connecting MODE to GND), as specified in Table 2 of the EV kit documentation. This forces continuous 4MHz operation regardless of load, unlike the default PFM mode (shunt removed) which skips pulses at light load to improve efficiency.
Does the MAX17624EVKIT# include input protection for hot-plug scenarios?
Yes - the MAX17624EVKIT# includes optional 47µF/8V tantalum capacitors (C202) near the VIN input to dampen voltage oscillations caused by long cables or hot-plug-in events. Their ESR helps suppress ringing, and additional 0.1µF/100V ceramics (C201/C206) attenuate high-frequency noise at board edges.
Is the MAX17624EVKIT# RoHS compliant?
Yes - the MAX17624EVKIT# is RoHS compliant, as indicated by the '#' suffix in the part number per Maxim's ordering information table. All bill-of-materials components, including Murata, Vishay, Kemet, and Panasonic parts listed in the BOM, meet RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
